I met you at the gateI touched your face
And my heart skipped
A beat
Your lips so soft and warm
And I prolong the touch
For as long as I could
How could I be
such a fool, to stand
alone in the rain
When I could be
Cosy and warm
in the arms of
the one I love.
When one lives together with a person for so long,
and the respect and love they deserve, dissolve into
fits of anger and despair. The only thought that
Crosses your mind is to get out as soon as is
Possible. If only for you to stop behaving like
A child and spare each other the endless tirades.
And now I find myself having left and gone my own way.
Can you imagine how much I miss her?
I’m just the fool in the rain..

I don't know if you've seen M. Night Shyamalan's "Signs"? There is a scene, towards the end, where Morgan has an asthma attack and his dad sits on the floor, props himself up behind him and tells Morgan to breathe with him. In, out, in, out... till he calms down, till it passes..
I've never lived with someone, but I've suffered the pain and loss of seperation. All I wish I could do for you, is help you breathe like Morgan's dad helped him.
Keep Breathing Chi.. Keep breathing. This, sadly, too shall pass.

And Chi, we're all fools for love. If you're not, I believe you've lived a sad life.
I know the scene very well. I see it clearly in my minds eye.
B's maturity in the transition from Love affair to friendship has shown me a different point of view. One which I hope will cement the relationship on a different level. A level of friendship I'm looking forward to.
Walking away is never quite as easy as people imagine, is it? Someone once said to me you leave a little piece of your very being, behind, if only for a while. They're right.
All one can do is what Catherine said: keep breathing; and keep being.
Hi Michele,
It is so true what you say. I know that I wish, in situations like these, that I leave behind the good part of my being. It can then stay for as long as is needed, before returning for the next venture into Love's blissful confusion.

It's not so bad after all. Being seperated from someone you lived with for such a short time, actually sharing your life with someone for even a shorter time. It can not be so bad. Oh ja, Breathe. Makes everything better.
Carefree,
Although I'm touched by all your comments, let us not forget that there are two people in a relationship. As i mentioned to B last night; my articles are always written to reflect what I feel at the moment of writing, and within days the thought goes to the back burner, and only revisited when I reply to the comments. Not to say that this episode in my life has not affected me in an emotional way, but one has to make the best of every 'bad' situation and move on. I think both B and I have shed our tears, both publicly and privately, and are now ready to move forward, separately but together as friends.
Thank you all again for the kind thoughts.
My dearest B; Love you always, and see you at the next Quiz night.. Quiz Buddy!
